If you’re not familiar with YouCut, it’s a site put up by Majority Leader Eric Cantor. Citizens vote in the poll on [...]
Texas Rushes to Pass Anti-Groping Bill
By R. Mitchell on Jun 27, 2011 in Politics
The Texas anti-groping bill has passed out of committee in the state Senate, but the bill seems nothing more than peacock feathers.

As a citizen of Texas I was quite proud to hear that the Texas Legislature would be voting on a bill that would make TSA pat-downs a felony. I was equally outraged when the bill did not pass. To quote my colleague from an article just a little more than a month ago: “Simpson’s bill [...]
